ArchEnemy Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I recall this stressful period like it was yesterday. Hang in there, it will pass by very soon! Just a few more weeks to the winter break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F508 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don't feel stress necessarily, but rather more of a psychological restlessness... Probably due to the inability to predict future elation or depression ... One minute I feel confident, the other minute I'm doubting my application Lol is March here yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping really poorly for the last 2-3 weeks which is extremely uncharacteristic for me even in stressful periods. Particularly given how exhausted I feel in the first place. This is different.... Hang in there! I'll send you positive, restful vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F508 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ughh and Carms is such a money sink-hole for cautious applicants.. I applied to like 10 family medicine sites at one program because each site is considered an individual application...... I'm pretty sure I didn't need to apply to that many... but just in case.. hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see why applicants couldn't apply to all the sites within one FM program and have it considered as one single application instead of the way it is now...

They could - I think part of it is there is more complex selection processes for such multiple site programs and also it is just a pain in the ass for them to change their software. Not exactly a great explanation mind you. Plus they don't really have anyone stressing them out about correcting it.

I have friends applying to several FM sites at Laval and Sherbrooke but PDs said candidates could send the same letter to all sites of the same program. Imagine someone applying to the Gaspé site and sending a letter explaining why they want so much to do FM in Quebec City or Lévis... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 So question from a CaRMS noob. If someone posts a school I applied to in the 2018 invitation discussion ... how long should I wait to think "shit I didn't get an invite from that program"? Is there usually a turn around to send out all invites once the initial messages start going out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone turns down their invitation, they call someone from that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yes - I generally saw the description "we only notify candidates who receive in interview" when researching family programs. I guess as a general rule I will give it 24 hours after seeing the discussion board updated until feeling like *(*%$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F508 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Depends on the program.. I remember last year someone thought they didn't get a family medicine program because it was posted, but it turned out that the program sent invites out in batches (like days if not weeks later).
